Five months down...four more to go

The last US tech was sweet enough to do a 3D picture for us.  I think he has Michael's lips and that is his arm up beside his face.  :)  We've received nothing but good news every time we go to the doctor and we continue to be thankful!  We ordered almost all of his furniture (minus the most important piece...his crib...still waiting on Babies R Us to get it in the warehouse) and his bedding is in!  Michael painted his room this weekend so we are getting close!  A few pieces of the nursery take a while to come in, but I will post pictures as soon as it looks somewhat complete.

HR at US (21 weeks): 125 BPM
HR at doctor (22 weeks): 140 BPM (he must have been exercising)
# of times Michael asks the US tech to look at the babies heart and make sure it is beating correctly and blah blah blah: 7...at least.

22 weeks

 

Brooks Michael Bradley

We finally decided on a name and the more we talk to him and call him by name the more it seems so fitting.  He's constantly moving and kicking and reminding me he is there.  If I'm having a bad day all it takes is a swift kick or upper cut to make me smile!  We are so blessed and I know I've said it a million times, but I cannot wait to meet our lil guy!  Is it Christmas yet!!!

Cravings: Nothing!  I still eat cereal every night of the week though!  :)
Dreams: I've had a lot more nightmares in the past five months, so I welcome any kind of dream that doesn't wake me up sweating.  Last night I dreamed I was holding Brooks and he had a pony tail on the top of his head.  Who knows?!?
Funny Symptoms: Sometimes I laugh for no reason, absolutely no reason at all!  And when I say laugh, I mean tears rolling down my face, cannot breath laughter.  It's hilarious...I don't know what IT is, but for some reason I think it's funny.
